They have also discovered a NEW COMPOSI rioN for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally Wiper vious to acids. ARTIFICIAL' TEETH have hitherto been foun ob jectioriable by INVALID; taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs. DI have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCO VERY, and they can tix the above without extracting the STUMPS, or causing any incumbrance, and even en GUMS of the most tender nature, protecting the adjoining Teeth, however loose. No WI .:ES or LIGA . '1 ORES are used, and they MATCH the 0 RIGI VAL TEETH in point of Shape and Colour. GUARANTEED for MASTICATION and AR.. TICULATION.

He denied that on that or on any other occasion he had had illicit intercourse with her, or that he had had any connection with her except as stated in the affidavit, and he declared that he had ceased to have any speaking acquaintance with her ever since 1830. The Learned Counsel here read the paragraph complained of, and observed that though some part of it might appear of rather a mirthful character, yet considering the station which Mr. Wigney held in society, he trusted that their Lordships would think he had adopted the proper course in making the present application. In one of the sentences of the libel, which was read at full length, were these ex pressions used with reference to Mr. Wigney's politics, and his conduct towards the lady :—" Some people like short Parliaments and long attachments ; Mr. Wigney, on the contrary, likes long Parliaments and short attachments." There were other expressions of a similar nature, and the libel imputed to Mr. Wigney an intercourse with Miss Preston, which his affidavit had deified. There were other affidavits in support of that made by Mr. Wigney. The Court granted the rule. THE QUEEN. v. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF SWANSEA. Sir W. FOLLETT moved for a rule, calling on the de fendants to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to them, commanding them to execute a bond of compen sation to Mr. Davis, formerly the common attorney of the borough. The affidavit showed that the office was a free hold office ; that Mr. Davis had been dismissed by the new Corporation ; that he claimed compensation, which had been altogether refused ; that he had appealed to the Lords of the Treasury, who found that, in fact, he was entitled to compensation ; but that, as the Town Council had not adjudicated upon his claim, they had no jurisdic tion. This finding of the Lords of the Treasury was quite correct ; but as the Town Council had refused Mr. Davis any compensation, though clearly entitled to it, that refusal gave this Court a jurisdiction to interfere. The COURT granted the rule. BAIL COURT Nor. 16. STRIKING AN ATTORNEY OFF THE ROLLS. Mr. JARDINE was instructed by the Incorporated Law Society to apply to his Lordship for a rule calling upon William Willis, an attorney, to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls of the Court, for permitting an unqualified person, named William Allen, to practise as an attorney in his name and also a rule calling upon the said William Allen to show cause why he should not be com mitted to prison for so acting. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted rules to show cause. EXCHEQUER COURT, Nov. 16. lIAMFSON V. TIMINS, A DIRECTOR OF THE WEST COPE MINING COMPANY. This was a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why he should not pay the amount of a judgment reco vered a ga i nst hi m i n a suit in which he was declared against as a Director of a Company established by Act of Parlia ment, or why execution should not issue against his private property. Mr. Baron PARKE said the case was most important, and that the Court would consider it with an anxious desire to prevent a failure of justice, which would occur if the plain tiff could not recover his judgment. CONSISTORY COURT, Nov. 16. WILLIAMS, ALIAS DAUMER, V. WILLIAMS. This was a suit for nullity of marriage promoted by Mrs. Williams, formerly Miss Maria Daumer, against Mr. Williams, her husband. The facts of the case are these : —Mr. Williams having courted Miss Daumer, and having gained her - consent to marriage, contrary to the advice, and in opposition to the wishes of her relations, it was agreed that the ceremony should be clandestinely per formed, and the parish church Hof Swinnington, in the diocese of the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, was fixed upon as the place. Mr. Williams promising to procure a license for that purpose, proceeded to the Surro gate of the Bishop of St. Asaph, and obtained from him a license of marriage, which, of course, was of no authority out of his diocese. It was subsequently agreenipm — ilhat the marriage should be celebrated in the parish Church of Waisted, which is within the diocese of St. Asaph, where the ceremony was performed. Mrs. Williams has now commenced a suit for nullity of this marriage, on the ground that the license was an illegal one, it having been procured from a person who had no authority to grant a license for any marriage in the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, or in any diocese, save that of St. Asaph. A libel, in which the above facts were pleaded, was this day offered for admission. Her MAJESTY'S ADVOCATE, on behalf of Mr. Williams opposed the admissibility of the allegation. Libel rejected.

FoLLETT moved for a rule to show cause why a quo warranto should not be issued, calling on Mr. Dudley to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the office of Mayor of the borough of Stafford. The question alto gether depended on the construction of the 4th atad sth of William IV., c. 76, and the Ist of Victoria, c. 78, s. 14, and amounted in fact to this—whether the Aldermen, by the provisions of the Municipal Reform Act, were directed to go out of office at a given period, were entitled first to vote in the election of Mayor for the year ensuing, or whether the new election of Aldermen was to take place, and the new Aldermen to be admitted before the Mayor was elected. If the former, the election of Mr. Dudley was good ; if the latter, it was invalid. The Learned Counsel contended that he existing Aldermen had a right to vote on the election of the Mayor before they vacated their places, and read and commented on the two statutes above referred to in proof of his argument.—The Court granted the rule. THE QUEEN V. THE BRIGHTON PATRIOT. Sir. F. POLLOCIC moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not issue against the defendant for the publication of a libel upon the character of Mr. Wigney, a banker at Brighton, formerly a Member of Par liament for that borough, and also a Justice of Peace for the county of Sussex. The affidavit on which the application was founded stated that Mr. Wigney had for many years resided at Brighton, with his wife and family, which now consisted of six children ; that he had read, in No. 191 _ a Paper called the Brighton Patriot and South of Eii,g_la?ld Free Press, a par a graph, which was thus headed : wig; ney, the ex-Member ; and Miss Preston, the ex-Mistress ; that he believed that the paragraph so headed wa s intended to apply to hi mse lf, and that the imputation ther e conveyed, of his having had an improper intercourse with Miss Pres ton, was wholly false and unfounded. The affidavit then went on to describe the circumstances out of which the libel was supposed to have originated. In the year 1828 Mr. Wigney stated that his attention was arrested Ira the square where his residence was situated, by see ing a y oung woman of respectable appearan ce walking every evening up an d d own t h e square ; that after observing h er several times he directed a f ew words to h er, and s h e th en told him that her name was Mary Ann Preston, th a t s h e got her living as a dress ma k er , and that she walk e di n t h e square merely for the benefit of h er health.

The insolvent had been some time in prison, and had, according to his account, paid his at torney 71. for bringing him before the Court. On Thurs day night the discharge was lodged at the prison, but the insolvent remained within the walls, and now came up with the other prisoners in the hope that the Court would, after the imprisonment and expense he bad undergone, hear his ca s e.—The petition was dismissed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HA7'TON-GARDEN. Mr. Mason, printer, of Clerkenwell-green, attended be fore the Magistrates for the purpose of putting in bail on an appeal to a seizure for church-rates. In consequence of Mr. Mason's resistance to the church- ra t e , a di stress war rant was issued , an d a seizure of a ream of paper made on his premises. He determined on making an arrangement with some brokers, to attend the aucti on w h ere the paper was to be sold , an d that it was to be purchased in for is., the room was num erous l y attended and on the day of sale, by the brokers, who were all inimical to th e c h urc h- rates' and there was no higher bidding than a s hilli ng, until a printer in the place bid more, and it was °'knocked d own " to him. The b rokers became incensed, and i ns i s t e d t h at the article sh ould be p ut up again, and on the auctioneer's refusal, the unfortunate printer, to whom the l o t was knocked dow n, was covered all over with a tub of flour which happened to be in the room, and he made his escape over the roof of the house. The bail was received, and the Parties quitted the office. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. A young man named Alexander was charged with hav ing passed a check, purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Alexander and Co., Leadenhall-street, for 30/., on a pub lican in Princes-street, named Shrubsole, which check, when presented for payment, was pronounced a forgery. As it is suspected there are several other charges against the prisoner, he was remanded till Monday next. UNION-HALL. Yesterday George Westbrook, a man of resp ctable ap pelrance, described as a merchant and bill-broker, was brought before Mr. JEREMY, charged with stealing a writ ing-desk, containing sundry articles, the property of a lily named Ross, residing in the Kent-road. The case excited much interest. The complainant was living at the house of her son, who is a surgeon, and having had occasion to leave on Friday last, she left the house in charge of a little boy. On her return, however, she was informed that the prisoner and a man, who was his groom, had entered the house in her absence, and, upon looking round, she missed the desk now produced. She added that she was not acquainted with the prisoner, and had no recollection of having seen him until he was placed at the bar. Her son, she believed, bad some slight acquaintance with the accused. A boy, twelve years of age, stated that on the day that he was left to mind the house, the prisoner and a man dressed as a groom called there, and asked to see Mr. Codd ; that he (witness) told them that he was not at home ; upon which they walked into the house, and went into the back parlour and surgery, and began to look about. He (the boy) told them that he had directions to admit no one into the house ; upon which the man dressed is groom's clothes called the prisoner, saying, " Mr. West brook, there is no person up stairs." The prisoner imme diately we nt °P, and the groom came down , and de tained witness below while the former remained up stairs. The witness added that soon afterwards the prisoner and groom left the house together. Robert Brodie, a policeman of the L division, took the prisoner into custody, and on examining him found the paper now produced, and which the complainant identified as having been in the desk at the time it was taken from the house. A pawnbroker stated that the prisoner pledged the desk at his employer's shop on the evening of the day it was al leged to have been stolen. The Magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge ? The prisoner replied that the boy had told a falsehood in saying that he was detained down stairs by the groom while he (prisoner) was in the rooms above. The facts were, he (the prisoner) and his groom called at the house, as he knew the complainant's PRICE scli son, and that being desirous of seeing him, to take his ad , vice on a medical case, they waited for him in the expec tation of his arrival, but not coming they waited as long as they thought proper, and afterwards went away without seeing him. He added that there was no truth in the ac cusation of his having robbed the house of the writing-desk. Mr. SWABEY—Both the pawnbroker's clerk and the little boy have distinctly sworn to your identity, one as having seen you in his master's house from whence the desk was abstracted ; and the other witness as to your being the person who afterwards pledged - de article at his employer's shop. The prisoner still asserted his innocence. _ _ The Magistrate stated that there was another fact de tailed in the course of the evidence, which made the case still stronger against the accused, namely, that of the po liceman finding in his possession a paper which the com plainant had now sworn was in her writing-desk when it was stolen. The Magistrate added that he had no other alternative than to send the case before a Jury.—Committed, rArtisirop ST. MARY, ISLINGTON. On Thursday evening, pursuant to previous announce ment, a meeting of the rate-payers of the above parish was held in St. Mary's Church, to elect a Vestry-Clerk in the room of the late unfortunate Mr. Oldershaw. Mr. BARDGETT, Senior Churchwarden, in the Chair. Mr. CHARLES WOODWARD proposed Mr. Robert 01- dershaw as a fit and proper person to succeed his father in the office of Vestry-Clerk. He deeply deplored the em barrassed circumstances which had led to the melancholy end of the unfortunate deceased : but from the clear and convincing evidence which presented itselftip Isis mind that the present candidate had not, in the slightest degree, been privy to any of the business transactions of his Either, he could not for a moment think that the late disastrous cir cumstances entailed upon him any disqualification for office. Mr. Robert Oldershaw had had no connection for several years whatever with his father in business, nor was it at all possible for him to have been cognizant. of his father's de falcations ; for his father had actually employed other legal gentlemen to transact his business. All he could say was, that he was a country attorney, but he could not give his name.--(Confusion, and cries of " (..Th, oh," amidst which Mr. Woodwar sat down.) Mr. RAMSDEN seconded the nomination. He admitted that the late Mr. Oldershaw, at the time he committed suicide, was a defaulter to the parish of St. Mary to the amount of 650/., but he could never be induced to believe hat the sins of the father should be visited upon the head of the son. Mr. GOODYEAR nominated Mr. Robert Cork, who was as yet an untried man, but he stood forward openly and fairly to fight their battle, and he saw no reason why his pretensions to office should not be received. Mr. HALL seconded the nomination. Mr. HODGSKIN doubted wl'ether that meeting would act with becoming discretion were they, after what they had heard, to proceedthat evening to the election of a vestry-clerk. They had heard from one of the Churchwardens that there was an actual deficiency in the parish funds of 6501. For a successor to come into office under such circumstances would be exceedingly unpleasant. Besides, should the parish of St. Mary, instead of continuing under the Local Act, be brought under the operation of the new Poor-law Bill, a thing by no means unlikely, it was exceedingly de sirable that they should know what the precis! duties of the 'Vestry-Clerk would be. He moved that the election b e adjourned sine die, in order first to institute an inquiry .nto all the circumstances of the case. The CHAIRMAN refused to put this motion on the ground of its alleged illegality, and proceeded with the nomination, in spite of the loudly declared disapprobation of the vestry. - Mr. GREEN proposed Mr. May. No one could deplore more than he did the late unfortunate occurrences, but at the same time he must be permitted to say, that in his opi nion Mr. Robert Oldershaw himself, as also his friends, had shown themselves destitute of that delicacy of feeling which ought to have characterised them. The remains of the un fora:mate deceased *ere scarcely cold in the-grave _when the son was pushed forward to succeed him. He saw no claim which Mr. Robert Oldershaw had upon the rate payers beyond that of any other parishioner, and under ex isting circumstances he had been badly advised. Mr. EDE seconded Mr. May's nomination. Tlic CHAIRMAN on a show of hands declared Mr. Older show elected. A poll was demanded on behalf of the Messrs. Cork and May. So much confusion prevailed towards the close of the proceedings, that no person appeared to be aware of either what was done or what ought to be done. The excitement which prevails in Islington is equal to that of a borough election. Crowds of persons surrounded the Church-gates. Placards were to be seen in all direc tions ; and paid agents employed in shouting for Oldershaw or for Cork. Carriages were to be seen bringing up voters from a distance ; and the deepest anxiety was evinced by each party for the success of their respective candidates. At six o'clock last evening 1,309 voters had been polled ; but as the votes were taken by ballot, the result is not yet known. The poll closes this evening. We add an extract from a letter which has been ad- dressed to a Morning Paper on this subject:— " The late Mr. Oldershaw's defalcations (on private ac counts are about 27,000/., and on parish accounts about 5001. already discovered) have naturally excited much dis tressing attention ; and I address you in form of corres pondence, in order to elicit inquiry on an important question of vestry right, arising out of the proceedings, affecting this and all other parishes. After Mr. Woodward, the nominator of the late vestry clerk's son, had commenced a speech full of promises of explanations, declarations of reputation, &c., but most scrupulously (no doubt conscientiously) withholding amounts, names, &c., though the latter were loudly and generally called for ; and after other speeches and nomina tions, leaving the required explanations blank, an amend ment was proposed to postpone the election, with a view of appointing a Committee to inquire and report publicly (as three friends of the party had done privately) ; but this amendment was overruled by the churchwarden, Mr. Bard gett, a gentleman of the highest character and talent, on the ground that it ought to have been submitted before the nominations, which latter he proceeded to put to a show of hands, only allowing the amendment to be put afterwards, which occasioned so much uproar and confusion, as not to be understood by the bulk of the meeting. Now, Sir, it is not only the practice of Parliament, but, I think, the custom of all public meetings to adopt the usage of the former, and put amendments first, allowing them to be moved and seconded at any time ; and I wish to know, from some intelligent reader, whether the above proceed ing of the respected Chairman is authorized by established usage or local Act ? " In point of order and common sense, it seems absurd to insist upon amendment being proposed before the it business of the meeting is fou n d t o justi f y t k as in the present case, where further inquiry and needful adjourn ment appeared to be the more necessary, from the proceed ings (particularly the opener's part therein) being so dero gatory and unsatisfactory—alike deficient in common fairness, and dogmatical in partizanship. " I am, Sir, your humble correspondent, Highbury, Nov. 16, 1838. OLIVER LYNDALL." This case, which involves a great mass of parochial scandal and parochial injustice, will lead to further inves tigation. The reader must be informed that the son of the late defaulter is put forward to supply his father's place by tne Tory and saintly party of the parish, which also constit u t es a pre d ominant and mo nopolizingjunta ; that they began their intrigues to procure the return of the son on the very Sabbath that the father committed suicide, and before he was well cut down ; that they held quasi public, but really private, meetings of their own friends, and the friends of the son, to whitewash over the nefarious conduct of the father as much as possible ; and that then one of their own party was placed in , the chair, on the night of the Vestry, who pro ceeded to the nomination in an unwarranted manner, and refused to receive an amendment which was perfectly legal and perfectly in order. Widows and orphans are the .;Lief sufferers by the defalcations of the late vestry-clerk, which, together with the improper and even scandalous proceedings we have adverted to, have created an extraor dinary degree of excitement, and even indignation in the parish, so that ladies of retired habits, who would on ordinary occasions have shrunk' from taking any part in public proceedings, have hastened to the vestry to record thei r vo t e aga i nst Mr. R. Older shaw. It is expected, how ever , t h at the election will ter minate in his favour, because two candidates unwisely de vide the popular party, and the saintly Tory junta, by which he is suppo r t e d, h ave an immense deal of power in the parish. A prot es t, h owever, has been entered against the proceedings of the Ch a i rman and Vestry, and the ques tion of the legality of th e e l ect i on w i l l pro b a b ly b e decided in a court of law. u There is no w living at Hampstead a gentleman named Solomans, of th e Jewish persuasion, m any years versmith at W a tf or d , who has attained the great 01 ,,e of 110 years.

THE GREAT MATCH. —Harrris, the pedestrian, who has been backed to a considerable amount t o wa lk in Battersea fields 1,750 miles in 1,000 suecessive hours, still continues to progress in his arduous undertaking, and at eight o'clock last night he had completed 1,106 Miles, or nearly two-thirds of his task. He appears as fresh and as active as when he com menced his labours, and entertains not the least doubt of final success. It is a singular fact, that he has not lost the least flesh, but, on the contrary, has increased in weight nearly one stone. When he first entered upon his un lertaking he took between 21 and 22 minutes for the mile and three-quarters (an hour's work), but through the whole of yesterday he per formed that distance in from 18 to 19 minutes. During his nightly labours, however, he allows himself 25 minutes for this portion of his task. The drenching r +ins of the past week so completely saturated his clothes, that he seas frequently com pell, d to change them, although he carried an umbrella in order to shelter himself as much as possible. This necessarily fatigued him, and added considerably to his-difficulties. He complains of a cough caught by being repeatedly wet through during th e l a t e ra i ns , an d o f pa i ns in his legs, loins, and back, from which, however, he suffers only in the night. Bets have considerably increased during the last week. IRELAND. SACRIFICEOFSIX LIVES AT SoLLIHEAD.—The rumoured tithe conflict at Sollihead, where it was said six lives were lost, turns out, as we apprehended it would, a pure inven tion—a falsehood and party fabrication. The Irish Tory Papers, we perceive, inculpate two Liberal prints ; one is charged with manufacturing, the other with uttering the forgery. Mi:O'CONNELL'S TOUR.—From Youghall, where Mr. O'Connell dined and spoke on Monday (we noticed his speech yesterday), the Hon. and Learned Gentleman pro ceeded to Waterford, at which city he was entertained at a public dinner by the people of the county of Waterford. " From the confines of the county (our report states) thousands assembled to accompany Mr. O'Connell into Waterford, and at the period of his entering there could not have been less than 15,000 persons assembled." Mr. O'Connell's reception was as good as he could , desire, and his " health" was received, as usual, with the enthusiastic plaudits for which our neighbours are remarkable. For the speech which he delivered on this occasion we cannot find room, nor do we think our readers will much re gret the omission, since the matter of which the Honourable Gentleman's address is composed, necessarily supplies but a repetition of argument and assertion with which we are all familiar. Mr. O'Connell. for instance, on Tuesday, in his character of " Missionary," repeated to the gentlemen at Waterford, that he felt it " his duty to preach to them reason and common sense," and again asserted that England is hostile to Irish interests—that the Radicals of England may be ranked amongst the opponents of the seven nrilions of his countrymen—that " they have the folly to talk of force—the iniquity to hint at an appeal to arms." All this crimination by Mr. O'Connell is scarcely fair. Certain we are that the great body of English Radicals are, at least, as free from the imputation of either a desire or design to appeal to arms as the Learned Gentleman's Irish disciples themselves may be. ORANGE MEETING. A General Meeting of Orangemen was held on Wed nesday, the 14th inst., at the great room of the Conserva tive Society, Dawson-street, under the sanction of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, Chidley Coote, Esq., Deputy. Grand Master, in the Chair ; at which representa tives from every county and district in Ireland attended. The Lodge having been duly opened with prayer, the following resolution of Committee was read : " Resolved—That this Committee do recommend the Grand Lodge of Ireland to sanction a General Meeting of Orancremen, to be held du r i ng th e N ovem b er meet i ng of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, with a view of more publicly and specifically making knowu the increasing grievances of the Protestants of Ireland, and the dangers which threaten their dearest rights and interests." The Report of the Committee of the Grand Lodge was then read. During its perusal, which occupied a considera ble time, for it is a very verbose and lengthy document, the secretary was frequently interrupted by loud and continued/ cheering. The report having been received and adopted, Sir Amyrald Dancer, Bart„ moved, and James Harvey, Telsq., Deputy Grand Master of Wexford, seconded the first resolution. CLERGY RESIDENCE ACT.—It is the intention of Go vernment to extend to Ireland the provision% of the Clergy Residence Act, passed last Session for England, and t o , assimilate the po we r s , j ur i s di c ti on , and emoluments of arch deacons in both countries.—Dubli!,‘ Monitor. Excepting the intelligence vre have given above, from the Irish Papers, they have noQiing noticeable in them ; the Post, as usual, proclaims the prosperous progress of the new agitation, and tells the Tories that it does not wonder that they are half crazy at Mr. O'Connell's success—but is incapable of understanding the alarm felt or affected to be felt by the friends of Liberal principles. The Monitor abuses the Post ; and the Evening Packet nearly equals the London Times, in its command over a most extensive vocabulary of vituperation. Mr. O'Connell, according to that Orange organ , i s " the scourge and curse of Ireland " —" an agitating firebrand"—" a blood-stained savage," ex citing revolution, " with the enti re sanc ti on o f her Majesty: Ministers 1" What next ? A pretty Packet truly l Com mend us t o a C onservat i ve f or extravagant l y ridiculous de claration an d men d ac i ous assertion, The weather during the past week has been wet, boisterous, and unsettled. O n Sunday last, after a heav y fall of rain duri ng th e p rece di ng n i g ht, the AY became clear and serene, with a sharp wine. tram the north-cast, and at night we had one of the severest frosts we have experienced this season. Yesterday the sky as unclouded throughout the day, with a, cutting easterly wind, and night set in with another severe frost.. The mountains are capped with snow, and present a wintry ap pearance. The more adjacent mountain, Dent, is wrapped in his hoary mantle of white.. Meanwhile in many elevated situa tions stooks of grain way be seen, and in some places even patches of oats unshom ! We have been told of cattle having been let loose in some fields of corn too far back to admit of any possibility of its ripening. One very extensive farmer,. Mr. Watson, of Snow Hill, so late as the beginning of last week, had about 6,000 stooks of grain standing in the fields.. The wheat crop is gonerally though not entirely secured; and we are afraid Inur:,, of the grain now in the fields will be either entirely lost - ur in a great measure rendered useless.—Cum berland 1 acquet. ...HE THAMES TUNNELL.—This great limier t.aking is now making very rapid progress-820 feet arc com pleted, leaving only 100 feet more to reach low-wattr mark on the Middlesex side. The entire length of the tunnel will be 1,300 feet. The sectional area of the excavation is 850 feet, being 22 feet 6 inches in height, and 38 feet in breadth. HELAN C E T. NOVEMBER 17.
